Pawns of Destiny tpb

Trade paperback. June Pearl discovers that she is unable to have children of her own and adopts three, going abroad at the necessary times in order to be able to pose as their actual mother when she brings them home one by one. Andrew Pearl, June’s husband, is neglected because of his wife’s “children” and leads a double life - one thwarted and cursed, the other a life of love and satisfaction. An inevitable clash and tragedy is involved. A murder trial follows. This new edition of 'Pawns of Destiny' is the first reprint since its original publication in 1947. John Pelan provides a new introduction, shedding light on the identity of the author.
